Yarn-braking device for textile machines

摘要

A yarn-braking device for textile machines comprises a supporting structure (26) that supports a set of three yarn-guiding bushes (34,36,64), through which the weft yarn can pass, and a U-shaped braking element (62) that is connected to motor means (56) and straddles the central bush. The braking element engages the yarn in the free regions between the central bush and the end bushes, thereby braking the yarn. The bushes are fixed to supporting means (38,40) whose position can be adjusted in order to modify the mutual position of the bushes so that the deflection of the yarn can be adjusted during braking. <IMAGE>
